A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

They're not only asking to be paid for their labour (completely valid!) but they have an easy and convenient way to access those payment plans for you. This isn't weird. This is capitalism and knowing your value. The number of us out here doing free labour like chumps...
This is the mindset of modern greed, where every exchange must be transactional, and if it’s not, you’re not hustling hard enough. Wring as many people for as much money as possible.
Fuck that attitude and those people.
Expecting everyone to teach you for free, and a answer your personal questions, isn’t modern greed? Interesting.
You just spent more effort typing out your response than it would’ve taken that guy to write the name of a lens. Writing a lens name isn’t teaching. I actually teach photography for a living. Explaining a concept is teaching. Stating something from the metadata isn’t teaching. Paywalling the metadata is hustle bro greed.
Nobody owes anyone the information on their process for free.
You don’t want to pay? That’s fine. You aren’t entitled to that information. Period.
Calling a photographer “that chick” is just another reason why your opinion doesn’t count.
Dude, my opinion counts enough for you to have felt compelled to reply. 🤣
